  • Patent number: 11353010
    Abstract: An inclined-axis axial piston machine includes a housing, a drive shaft and a cylinder barrel. The drive shaft is mounted in the housing so as to be rotatable with respect to a first axis of rotation and is integral with a flange. Each piston is coupled to the flange via a ball joint. A multiplicity of counting perforations are arranged in a periodically distributed and continuous manner over an outer circumferential surface of the flange. The housing accommodates a sensor arranged opposite the counting perforations such that rotation of the drive shaft causes a signal change at the sensor. Each counting perforation is formed integrally from the flange, in the form of a recess having a single continuous perimeter. A side wall of the recess, starting from the perimeter, extends uninterruptedly, without sharp bends or offsets, over the entire circumference of the perimeter.

  • Publication number: 20210018052
    Abstract: A method controls a clutch actuator, comprising a clutch cylinder piston of a clutch cylinder, which clutch cylinder piston moves an actuation element of a friction clutch along an actuation path, and comprising a hydraulic pump, which actuates the clutch cylinder piston by means of a pressure medium pumped along a hydrostatic path and which is operated by means of an electric motor. In order to determine an actuation state of the friction clutch, the operating state along the actuation path is estimated by means of a pressure medium volumetric flow rate produced by the pump and by means of a leakage volumetric flow rate of the pump.

  • Publication number: 20200351374
    Abstract: A system and method for managing and sharing data across a plurality of computing systems of different entities from a central data vault. A computerized set of rules and actions are identified and stored in association with a customer profile in the data vault. The data vault monitors for a trigger event from a first entity selected by the customer as a trusted entity. The data vault determines whether the trigger event is identified in the set of rules and actions stored in association with the customer. In response to identifying the trigger event in the set of rules and actions, the data vault identifies a command from the set of rules and actions corresponding to the trigger event, and transmits the command to a second entity that has also been selected by the customer as being a trusted entity. The command may be for triggering action by the second entity.

  • Patent number: 10066521
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has an intake channel which opens via a first valve into a crankcase of the engine. The first valve opens at a first frequency (f1). The engine has a second valve, which controls the quantity of fuel supplied into the intake channel. The quantity of fuel is controlled by controlling the time interval during which the second valve is open during each engine cycle (x). A control device is provided to control the quantity of fuel supplied. In a first operating state, the second valve is opened at a second frequency (f2, f3, f4) which is coordinated with the first frequency (f1). In a second operating state, the second valve is opened independently of the first frequency (f1).

  • Patent number: 9353721
    Abstract: A work implement has an internal combustion engine that drives a tool of the work implement via a clutch. The clutch has at least one driving element which is operatively connected to the internal combustion engine and at least one output element which is operatively connected to the tool. The internal combustion engine has a starting device with a starting position and an operating position. To avoid unintentional rotation of the output element when starting the internal combustion engine, the work implement has a blocking device with a detent pawl. In an actuated position, the detent pawl projects into the movement path of the output element, limiting the rotation of the output element. In an unactuated position, the detent pawl releases the output element. The starting device has an actuating device which, in the starting position, keeps the detent pawl in the actuated position.

  • Patent number: 9108339
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of coated mouldings, by injecting a moulding composition into an injection mould and cooling the composition to obtain a moulding, and altering the injection mould in such a way as to produce an intermediate space between a surface to be coated of the moulding and the inner surface of the injection mould, and using injection moulding to charge a reactive mixture to the resultant intermediate space, where the temperature of at least a portion of the injection mould is increased for the curing of the reactive mixture. The present invention moreover describes a system for the conduct of the process described above.

  • Patent number: 8591382
    Abstract: A method for controlling a friction clutch operatively arranged between a drive unit and a gearbox. The method includes the steps of detecting torque transmitted by the friction clutch, determining a coefficient of friction between friction linings of a clutch disk and antifriction surfaces of the friction clutch, and evaluating the functional capability based on the determined coefficient of friction. In order to avoid an evaluation of a friction clutch that has not yet been broken-in as a worn friction clutch, the evaluation is postponed during a specified breaking-in phase of the friction clutch.
